Sperm to zona pellucida binding depends on the use of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist or a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist Annika K Schröder, M.D., Beate Schöpper, Sc., Ph.D., Safaa Al-Hasani, V.D., Martin Löning, M.D., Klaus Diedrich, M.D., Michael Ludwig, M.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 79, Issue 3, Pages 648-650 (March 2003) DOI: 10.1016/S0015-0282(02)04808-2
FIGURE 1 Sperm zona pellucida binding in oocytes derived from GnRH agonist (triptorelin) or GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix) cycles. Differences in the sperm–zona binding capacities were statistically significant, independent of the use of either rhFSH or HMG. Black bar = rhFSH, white bar = hMG, gray bar = total. Schröder.
